Beauty Shop Bully

It took me a year to realize what was going on where I worked. My self confidence wasn't there anymore and I went from working five days a week to three. This shop was booth rental so I was trying to avoid working with a certain coworker.There was alot of emotional abuse and mind games. It was hidden though. The owner of the shop was only there one day a week, because he worked at his other shop in Columbus the rest of the time. So the bully got away with more. Thanks to sites like this one I was able to realize what was happening to me. I did leave that shop and went to another one. I couldn't be around that person, they were draining me. I am better now, but I still have some trust issues. I know what to watch for now, but I don't know what to do so I don't become a target again.
